Maybe my brain is tired of sadness and anxiety and that feeling of hopelessness that’s always trying to creep in. Maybe that’s why my mind has opened to a new emotion… one I don’t feel quite as often. Anger.
Nah… it’s not just my brain growing sick of all other emotions. I know exactly why I’m angry. But I’m not going to get into it. I realize it’s rare for me to not open up and dump my personal junk all over the place. But I just don’t want to right now.
Being angry makes me feel more powerful (is that the word I want?) than being sad or anxious or hopeless. Not that I have any control over which emotions take over. Maybe I’m supposed to… but I don’t.
Anyway… anger makes me want Nine Inch Nails. This song is a commentary on the current uh… situation in my country. But that’s not why I chose it. I chose it because, as he often does, Trent Reznor sounds pissed off. Like me.

Great pick today! And yes, anger can certainly feel empowering. Now, go kick some ass! 😃

I’m pretty sure Trent Reznor can do no wrong.
I wrote this post last night… but I’m still holding on to some anger. Anxiety is growing… but that’s because of the things I’ve done this morning. But they had to be done…

Let the anger be fuel. Tell that anxiety to sit down, shut up, and get the fuck out of your way. There’s a saying these farmers I now know use all the time: make hay while the sun is shining. Use that anger as your sun and go make some hay today! 😃

Why does that sound dirty to me? Oh… and ironically, we’re expecting heavy rain today.

Hey man, don’t rain on my metaphors! I was trying to be eloquent. Epic fail? 😏
Yeah, it does sound a bit dirty, doesn’t it? But, that’s a good way to spend a rainy afternoon, so……

Haha. Of course, I’m alone. Not that that technically matters, I suppose. Wow, this conversation has taken a turn. Hahaha 😀

Hahaha! Well, you don’t seem as angry now, so I guess it helped to take that little fork in the road. 😃

You’ve just added to my education. Never heard it before, but enjoyed it. Made me think of Oasis and the Gallagher brothers. They are always sounding, and looking, pissed off!

I love Oasis! 🙂 I’m always glad to introduce someone to something that’s new to them. I admit Nine Inch Nails (which is just Trent Reznor) isn’t for everyone… this song is kind of on the mellow side for him. Well, compared to a bunch of other stuff…

Always thought it strange that with such conflict between the brothers they always came up with such great music.
